Below form last July on soft on final 2yo start, his sole run on softer than good; wore blinkers on both outings as 3yo, winning a maiden at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April and his handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) four weeks ago; came from off the pace in the latter and strode clear in good style, so he remains one to take seriously despite 9lb rise.

He will have something to prove if slow ground prevails and he was tailed off on his recent reappearance over 2m at Musselburgh; however, that was his first run beyond 1m3f and he went close over that trip at Carlisle last August, when 2lb higher; might not be a forlorn hope back down in trip.
